Weeeelll, I'm back. Feels good to update this again on a sorta-regular basis! XD
Thanks for the reviews, i missed updating this too. ALTHOUGH, we all gotta admit, the crossover was pretty epic. And thanks to that, it brings more opportunity for Naruto and Luna's hilarious fluff! So yay for Fatal Frame 3!
ANYWAY. Onward! Read, enjoy, review, and enjoy some more! :)
Luna dove into his bed, hopping out of her jeans and tripping like a moron along the way, and Naruto's temple throbbed as the aforementioned jeans landed on his head.
"...Yep. You guessed it. That's EXACTLY what I wanted, THAT'S why I was following you!" He commented dully as he stomped after her, tossing her jeans behind him carelessly.
She was sitting up in his bed, and once he stomped in there, she drew the covers up to her chin and trembled dramatically.
Naruto rolled his eyes. "Please, like I'm gonna buy that piece of crap! Terrified my ass."
"I WON THE BED FAIR AND SQUARE, I can't help it that I'm faster than you!" She declared. His temple throbbed, and he waved the pajamas he had just picked up in her face. "I was just getting my clothes, jeez!"
"Well, how was I supposed to know?" She grumbled, crossing her arms. "Common sense? Oh, wait, that's something you're sorely lacking. My mistake."
"I do too have common sense!"
"Oh, yeah. 'Cause anyone with common sense would crawl into a tunnel after hearing creepy singing about impaling people!"
"THAT WAS FOR THE GOOD OF THE DREAM SEQUENCE! I was the smallest, Naruto Uzumaki, it was the logical and common-sensical thing to do," She replied matter-of-factly.
He just glared at her for a second. "...If you had common sense, you wouldn't let yourself be so small and put yourself in that position, now, would ya?"
BAM!
"DAMMIT, LOON, THAT HURT! Only YOU could make a pillow lethal..."
"YOU CAN'T CONTROL HEIGHT AND WEIGHT, DUMBASS! ...Not my fault I was only given the bare necessities when it came to meals in the Agency," She grumbled, pouting to herself.
All those stupid-ass Saltine crackers they made her eat, and all the stupid fruit and veggies when she was on her period and all she wanted was some junk food and chocolate.
Junk food and chocolate used to be things that Will would sneak in for her, and now that she thought about it, he had gotten Alex into the habit of doing the same thing on a certain week every month.
Luna shuddered at the thought of her older brother keeping better track of her period than she could herself, and Naruto gave her a weird look.
"You alright over there?"
"What do you care? You've got your pajamas, so go away so I can sleep," She snapped. Just THINKING about the impending doom known as her next period made her ready to strangle whomever she first encountered with her bare hands.
Especially when it was Naruto who was the closest at the time.
He rolled his eyes. "By all means, get your damn sleep. I'm gonna be the one having to train a small, whiny brat with big stupid brown eyes and a violent streak, but AS LONG AS YOU'RE HAPPY."
Luna beamed innocently at him. "Hey, at least I'll be there to WATCH you have to train this small, whiny brat with big stupid brown eyes and a violent streak that you speak of."
Naruto's temple throbbed, and that was when she noticed his stomach. Of all the times she'd seen his stomach (which wasn't too often, but still), she'd never noticed that mark.
"Has that always been there?" She asked suddenly, making him stop on his way out of the room.
"Has WHAT always been there?" He asked in reply, spinning in a circle as he looked around frantically for something out of the ordinary.
Luna stood and walked over, planting a hand on his shoulder to keep him in one place. She pointed at his stomach slowly. "...That."
It was like a spiral, with odd designs that looked almost like writing poking out from around it in the form of a sort of fancy star.
It COULD be writing. But at the same time, it looked more like a fancy way to draw fire, which would make sense considering what was lurking in his stomach.
"Oh, that? That's always been there. Jeez, Loon, where the hell have you been?"
"Lots of places. Mainly cities in Maryland and near DC, though. Although now I guess I can add Japan, both in this world and a different one, and I can add Konoha. And that's about it," She replied slowly, staring at it.
Naruto sweatdropped. "I kinda meant...never mind." His sweatdrops increased as he watched her continue to stare at it, tilting her head to the side.
Finally, he waved a hand in front of her face. "I was born with it."
"What does it DO? That's no ordinary birthmark. Trust me, I spent two days being lectured about them when I was thirteen," Luna said a bit absently, reaching a finger out to poke it curiously.
"Keeps the Nine-Tails chakra under control and stuff," He said simply. Luna huffed. Sometimes she wished he wouldn't be so nonchalant and dumb things down. Dumbing them down made it harder for her to comprehend.
How could he view things in life, such as regulating the chakra of a demon, as minor?
She switched from poking it like a moron to TRACING it like a moron, trying to figure out why the symbol was so new yet so familiar at the same time.
Luna decided she probably had just noticed it previously and hadn't bothered to REALLY notice it until a few moments ago.
Yes.
Because any other explanation would be just WAY too cliché. Naruto shivered, and she drew her hand back quickly. "My apologies. I'm too tired to think straight."
He shrugged. "You weren't bothering me."
Luna's eyebrows shot up. "Your shiver was quite noticeable, Naruto. I may be drowsy and my mind may be groggy, but I can still see straight. Surprisingly."
He grinned. "Well YOU'RE the one talking all formal, so maybe I'm bothering YOU." Luna huffed defiantly. "You are doing no such thing!"
"Oh, so you tolerate me now? I knew you were warming up to me!"
"No, that's not what I-"
"You have to accept these feelings, Loon." She opened her mouth to shoot back something smart in reply, but then she got a terribly wonderful idea.
Luna eyed him warily. "...I do?"
"Yep. Otherwise, you'll explode from bottling them up too long," He replied matter-of-factly.
She inched even closer to him. "Oh, well in that case...Perhaps I should...do just that."
She had to bite the inside of her cheek to keep from grinning at his expression.
"Y-Yeah, I totally agree."
She put her hand back on his stomach and let her pointer and middle fingers crawl up to his chest as if they were a pair of legs. "Just...act on impulse."
He gulped, and she smirked. "Impulse sounds good, impulse sounds very good," He replied quickly.
Luna leaned as close to his face as humanly possible before stepping back and slamming the door in his face. "IN YOUR DREAMS!"
"DAMMIT, LOON, THAT WAS JUST PLAIN CRUEL!"
She leaned against the door, rolling her eyes as he monologued. "Damn girls around here, always toying with dudes and their dudely needs. Who does she think she is? I bet the Agency didn't teach her THAT. V-Card my ass. …Huh. I dunno how the hell she got me outside my door, I don't even remember moving...!"
"THAT would be part of my feminine charms and wily ways," She replied to the door.
"HEY, stop listening in on my manly ramblings!" He demanded before stomping off. "Jeez, I don't see why she needs to sleep in a bed anyways. How uncomfortable could that window seat be?"
Luna opened the door, poking her head out. "How about this? If you promise to behave, you can sleep on the window seat and try it out for yourself! And if YOU can take it, then I'll sleep on it from now on. If not, I get the bed. Deal?"
He thought about it for a second, having stopped in the middle of the hallway with his back to her. When he turned around, he had that sneaky fox-like grin of his on his face.
"Deal."
HOURS LATER...
Luna woke up slowly, having enjoyed a dreamless night after that...hellish dream of that blasted giant shakemilk. "Milkshake, Luna, milkshake," She corrected out loud before stretching across the wide expanse known as Naruto's bed.
"Naruto, I believe it's time to get up," She announced with a yawn as she curled her toes and popped them.
That was one of her little "quirks," apparently; how she was the only one that could pop her toes, but when anyone else did it, she screamed bloody murder.
But dammit, it hurt when other people did it!
"I've been awake," Naruto said in the dullest and most depressed tone she'd ever heard in her life. While he was busy ranting about the window seat, she got dressed without a care in the world.
"It's all hard. And lumpy. So hard and lumpy, Loon, SO HARD AND LUMPY! I could totally point out that that was the best 'That's What She Said' ever, but I can't because I'm too depressed! How do you ever sleep on this thing? I literally stayed up all night! I heard the WEIRDEST things, you know that? Not to mention every time Alex Douche called, I had to press 'Ignore' like you told me to, so finally I just broke your phone-"
"YOU DID WHAT?" She screeched while clasping her bra, sliding the straps up her shoulders angrily. Naruto turned his face to the right so he could beam innocently at her, and then he pouted, not even bothered by her lack of clothes.
"...NO FAIR, you didn't tell me you were naked just now!" ...Okay, so technically he WAS bothered. Just for extra-perverted reasons.
"Why would I?"
"I dunno. Maybe because you had a dream or two about me last night?"
Luna gave him a weird look after slipping a shirt on over her head, making her hair even more mussed-up and...Bedhead-y, as Becs liked to put it.
"I don't RECALL a dream about you, much less multiple dreams."
He grinned. "You sure did mention my name a lot." Luna rolled her eyes and simply left, throwing one of his dirty socks at him as she left.
"Ow! Low blow, hitting a man with his own sock!"
"Suck it up, Mr. Man!"
HALF AN HOUR LATER...
Sakura and Kakashi were facing off when they got there. Naruto and Luna were hoping to watch them beat each other to a pulp, but sadly, Sakura noticed them almost immediately.
With a gasp of delight, she ran right over to them, glomping Luna to death. "WE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!"
Naruto's temple throbbed. "No, really, Sakura. No need to shower me with the same amount of attention or anything, really."
"Good," She said cheerfully. She then cocked an eyebrow. "Wow, you're awfully beat up for a mission to grab a fertility scroll."
"Fertility scroll?" Kakashi wondered. He and Yamato exchanged a look. Yamato made a weird motion with his hands. "Slow swimmers or something, Naruto?"
He turned bright red, while Luna looked at Sakura questioningly. She whispered something into Luna's ear that made her turn red, too.
"LIKE HELL I SHALL LET THAT MORON IMPREGNATE ME!"
